#12272 Do Muslims Worship the Same God? ...

CATHOLIC ANSWERS
About this episode

A caller asks whether Muslims truly worship the same God as Christians. In this episode, Catholic apologist, Dr. Karlo Broussard, explains the Church’s teaching from Lumen Gentium and the Catechism, clarifying how Islam’s incomplete understanding of God still refers to the one true Creator. The conversation also touches on key differences between the faiths and what authentic interreligious respect looks like.

Questions Covered:

  • 03:04 – If we can’t control how people see us, how is it then that we can be culpable for the sin of scandal? 
  • 11:50 – Does the lack of understanding of a mortal sin mitigate something being a mortal sin? For example, if a person views pornography but doesn’t believe it’s a mortal sin, is it still a mortal sin? 
  • 21:02 – How does the pope calling the crusades and saying going on a crusade forgives sins, fall into the doctrine of the papacy? 
  • 29:23 – Can you explain how Muslims worship the same God even with an incomplete understanding of him? 
  • 37:04 – I’m not Catholic. I was shocked to hear that Catholics believe that the biblical story of the flood is allegorical. Is this true? 
  • 45:48 – Are we obligated to forgive those who have not repented of sinning against us? 
  • 50:34 – Why does a person who wants to be baptized have to wait until going through class up until Easter?
